Voltgloss's deadline suggestions sound good to me, I approve.
It's truly terrible playing catch up, truly terrible. I'll do my best to form and articulate reads on everyone though:
UoS: the claimant, strong strong town read.
Voltgloss: The strongest nonclaimed town read (but I have a bias, his playstyle always reads towny to me). A lot of his posts I think hit the nail to the head, really good observation and analysis in my opinion.
liopoil - I think this is interesting, I feel he has two different personas, the one we are seeing here (I literally don't remember any of his posts), and then the much more controversial liopoil that gets into arguments with people (usually about theory, but still). Laying low is a scum trait, although I wouldn't expect scum lio to super lurk. He did anticipate being busy at the start of this game, though:
Well crap, this started, which means I am going to be behind. oh well. let's wait a bit before we massclaim, shall we? and I don't like the idea of our vig getting shot. we need our vig I think.
all in all I'm fairly null on lio. Maybe he just seems odd because he hasn't had time to post.
Robz: Wow, Robz has amazingly contributed even less than I have. I hadn't realized this at all.
Vote: Robz The tone of the few posts is the kind of pleasant and constructive I still associate more with scum Robz. Scum read!
Jorbles: Reread him as well, nothing really stood out. Contributing, reasonable opinions, tried to build a case on UoS who I now "know" to be town. If I was reading this with the knowledge that Jorbles is scum, I'd be thinking "he is positioning himself well", but it's also reasonable town play.
nkirbit: I don't agree that his reaction to the theory talk was scummy - it was quite similar to my own, actually. I feel nkirbit is always heavily suspected day 1 (by others than myself), might be a playstyle thing. I find him contributions this far towny, no reason to suspect him really. I guess I would actually feel similarly about Jorbles and nkirbit, if it wasn't for the fact that Jorbles is not suspected at all and nkirbit is suspected a bit (that makes nkirbit townier and Jorbles scummier for me).
shraeye: I don't know how to read this guy. A lot of his posts seem to end in question marks. I haven't agreed with a lot of his posts, but I don't think that's much of an alignment tell.
mail-mi: Despite his relatively high post count, before his recent would/wouldn't post prompted by Voltgloss, the only thing he ever said about anyone in this game other than Voltaire was that he found me and shraeye scummy for lurking (no other explations). He sheeped yuma's very early Voltaire-case, then reread him on his own and found him slightly scummy again, keeping his vote there. To me mail-mi seems awfully passive, but continuing this line of thinking before the most recent game he was scum in ends is a bit dubious. Suffices to say, I don't find mail-mi towny at all.
yuma: I'm too lazy to reread the heavier contributors, partially because I don't think they make for optimal lynch targets anyways. yuma hasn't been the leader he sometimes is, but is still relatively high in the post count. As someone who lives by "especially day 1, I try to forget I'm scum and just play like I would as town", it's almost impossible to catch him day 1, I think he has given his honest opinions on theory stuff and called out suspicious behavior when he has seen some. I'll note that he doesn't seem overly towny to me like he sometimes does, but then add a caveat that scum has more incentive to try to do that. Null on yuma.
ashersky: I sympathize with yuma's "ash is trying to imitate his crazy plan town persona". Ash has a lot less posts than usual, but I don't know what if anything to make of that alignment-wise. The content of those posts however surprises me - ash has pretty exclusively only talked about plans, planning plans and finalizing plans. Like, very little interactions with anyone. Scum read.
Voltaire: Is contributing nicely, both to theory and to actually talking about other players. I see no reason to suspect him, although the "keep doing that" towny feel isn't overly strong either.
